One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Interception



"Li Yuan, I didn't expect it was really you. Did you also find the explosive rock?"

Ward asked with a grim look on his face.

God knows how much time, manpower and resources he has spent searching for the explosive rock. Now that he has finally found it, he did not expect that someone would just show up and steal his things. If he did not know that he could not beat the other party, he would definitely kill the other party!

"Of course I found it, but there are two bases storing explosive rocks here. I have already occupied one, so whoever sees it gets a share. The remaining base storing explosive rocks is yours!"

"I don't want all the explosive rocks to explode here because of our fight. You should know the characteristics of explosive rocks. Don't leak them when you're transporting them, or else the island will be sunk!"

Li Yuan said calmly.

He didn't want to fight with Ward. Ward's Momo Fruit had extremely strong explosive power. Even if he could defeat Ward, it would cause a huge commotion, and if he wasn't careful the explosive rock would explode, which would be a loss.

It would be better to give some to Ward. After all, it was thanks to Ward that Li Yuan knew there were explosive rocks here.

"good!"

Although Ward was very unhappy, he suppressed his anger and agreed. If the two of them took action now, it would not benefit either of them.

When it comes to interests, face, anger and everything else should take a back seat. This is what a smart pirate should do.

At least the current Ward is not as crazy and stupid as in the original book.

After saying that, Ward immediately rushed to another storage base. He was determined to get the explosive rock!

"Captain, we've finished moving!"

Ten minutes later, Nepal came out with his group.

"After the move, pack the space scroll for me first, and then continue to put all the data, equipment, and instruments in the base into the space scroll and take them away!"

Li Yuan said.

In this base, it is not only the explosive rock that is valuable. In the long run, the value of the data and equipment used to mine the explosive rock will be more valuable than the current explosive rock.

As long as they have these data and equipment, their Infinite Pirate Group will be able to mine explosive rocks continuously like the navy.

"Yes, Captain!"

After hearing what Li Yuan said, the secret guards immediately handed the space scroll containing the explosive rock to Li Yuan, and then continued to move other things into the base.

"What? Corbett Island lost contact?"

Just as Li Yuan and Ward were moving things from Colbert Island, General Kong of the Marine Headquarters roared in the office.

Colbert Island contacts the Naval Headquarters every half an hour. Now that the connection has been lost, it means that Colbert Island has encountered an accident and cannot even send a signal back. The only ones who can do this are the big pirate groups in the New World. "Immediately send Sengoku to Colbert Island to check for me what's going on!"

Gang Gukong roared. Their navy had invested huge manpower, material and financial resources on Colbert Island. Just thinking about it now made Gang Gukong feel a sharp pain in his heart. That was the navy's continuous investment for many years, and now... Then/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

secret guards acted quickly, and all the valuable things were moved away in just half an hour. "Let's go!"

After moving all the things, Li Yuan immediately led his people away.

As for Ward's Storage Room No. 2, Li Yuan didn't care at all, because all the data, equipment and instruments of the explosive rock were concentrated in Base No. 1, and Base No. 2 was just a backup storage room.

Ward and his team were also quick to act, because Ward only cared about the explosive rocks. They quickly moved all the explosive rocks onto the boat, and then left Colbert Island at about the same time as Li Yuan.

"Hahahaha, I finally found the explosive rock. From now on, I won't be afraid of anyone anymore!"

After Ward got the explosive rock and left by boat, he roared excitedly at the bow of the ship. Although half of the explosive rocks were taken away by Li Yuan, he felt better to have so many explosive rocks.

"Brother, I have already got the explosive rock, but I am the only one who can defeat it."

Ward excitedly called his brother to share his joy, and then told him everything that had happened.

"Brother, after you get the explosive rocks, hide them in batches. You only need to keep a part of them in your hands!"

"Then we'll go hide in the doldrums and make some plans while we can avoid any retaliation from the Navy."

"We won't be involved in Li Yuan's affairs, but we can leak the news to the navy. We can't just let the navy take revenge on us. The Wuji Pirate Group is also involved. Let them help us bear the navy's revenge."

Bingjack said calmly that he was like Ward's brain, and half of the credit for a fool like Ward developing the pirate group to this point was due to Bingjack.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, brother!"

Although Ward felt a little unhappy about hiding from the Navy, he was not stupid and knew that the decision his brother made was the best one at the moment.

"It's all gone, damn Ward!!"

When Sengoku arrived at Colbert Island,

found that

the navy

ere were

and

the explosive rocks, even equipment, instruments, and data on Colbert Island were gone.

Zhan Guo was so angry that he almost wanted to sink the island with a few shock waves!

"Marshal."

Zhan Guo had no choice but to pick up the phone and report the matter to Gang Gu Kong.

"What!!!!"

Even though Ganggukong had already guessed the result, when he actually knew the outcome of the matter, he was still so angry that he almost vomited blood.

The seven years of investment by the Navy is all gone, gone, all gone!!!

"Sengoku, you make the plan. No matter what, the Ward Pirates must pay a price. It would be best if we could take back everything that was lost on Colbert Island from the Ward Pirates!"

Gang Gukong said through gritted teeth.

"Yes, Marshal!"

Zhan Guo agreed reluctantly. In today's new world, their navy could not intervene at all. If they wanted to deal with Ward, they could only wait until he passed through the Calm Belt and plundered the world. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time.

If we want to take back everything on Colbert Island from Ward, we will need the power of the intelligence department.

Many of the islands in the doldrums near the Wuji Sea have been occupied by the Wuji Pirate Group, and many of these islands are now empty.

So after Li Yuan got the explosive rocks, he divided them into three batches and stored them on three islands, to prevent the explosive rocks from suddenly exploding and detonating all

of them.

Then, Yadina sent people to these three islands to build bases specifically for the explosive

rocks.

"Yumaz, take a look at this data and see how to mine explosive rock."

Li Yuan took the data about the explosive rocks to the laboratory of scientist Yumaz.

"Captain, this explosive rock is hidden at least tens or even hundreds of meters below the seabed, and the environment for its natural growth is very harsh. It is not found everywhere.

It needs to be..."

When Yumaz saw Li Yuan, he immediately picked up the materials and read them for more

than an hour.

"We have already retrieved the necessary equipment. Now we just need to search for explosive rocks in the ocean. This is an explosive rock sample. Can you make a device to detect explosive rocks? Then we can send the fish-man fleet to the ocean to detect them."

Li Yuan interrupted Yumaz directly. He didn't understand those professional terms, so he handed Yumaz an explosive rock jar.

"Well, Captain, that's no problem. The data shows which environments are likely to contain

explosive rocks."

Yumaz said, and then carefully took the explosive rock. He had just read the information about this thing. Once it exploded, his entire laboratory would be blown up. "That's fine. When you're done, go find Gerald and ask him to send a fleet of fishmen to carry out this mission. Also, check out the equipment for mining explosive rocks to see if there are any problems. Then, train some people to specialize in mining explosive rocks."

Li Yuan said. "That's all fine. By the way, Captain, have you thought about how to use these explosive

rocks?"

Yumaz asked, looking at the exploding rock in his hand.

"What do you think?"

Li Yuan asked. "Captain, the explosive rock can only be used like dynamite. But if we can put the explosive

rock into our shells, wouldn't that be better?"

Yumaz said excitedly.

"Well, your idea is good. I'll leave it to you to realize it in the future. Also, have you ever thought about timed detonation or remote controlled detonation?" Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan transmitted some modern concepts to Yumaz.

"Captain, you are such a genius. You can come up with such an idea. Once we can realize it, the

power of our weapons will be increased several times!"

Yumaz was very impressed to hear his captain's brilliant idea.

"Then you should work hard. The future depends on you."

Li Yuan patted Yumaz on the shoulder and said.

There are quite a few scientists in the Promise Pirates now, some of whom are trained by

themselves and some are recruited from all over the world.

After years of unstinting investment in scientific research by the Promise Pirates, Yumaz has finally become the strongest among many scientists and the chief scientist of the Promise

Pirates.
